Some elections aren't worth losing your sleep over

People here are talking about the Russian presidential election, which is just one week away. But surprisingly they don't talk about it nearly as much as they did about the US election or Brexit even though they are much more affected by and connected to Russia then to the West.

I guess this is because there is not much to talk about, there is hardly any uncertainty about the results of the election. And unlike David Cameron, Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin is unlikely to be losing his sleep thinking about the vote. Dictatorships are boring.
